You wanna try to explain the difference between a wing keel
and a hydrofoil to ChuckieM/Krusty/BB? Other than that one
is very heavy and increases stability by use of much lead,
and the other is as light as can be made for the strength
needed?


Doug, we all missed the text where he was comparing the two...or maybe
you think his mention of airplanes also hinted at a comparison? I think
he making a point through sarcasm. Effective if you had a sense of
humor or irony..of which you have niether. I note that you have nothing
to say about....

1) My comments on the wing keel on the 35s5, though you repeated some
of it 40 minutes later!
2) You became silent when I told you I got the 19% wetted surface spec
from Beneteau. E-mail them, you dolt!
3) In a few hours you'll have to admit that the J29 I was on does exist
and I'll even put you in touch with the owner to ask about the bulb.

But Doug never wants to hear anything that might shatter his fragile
ego built around failed sailing dreams aboard his trawler. He must have
been mortified to see that I do indeed have a grasp on how the wing
keel works and I bet he never considered the current/wing issue at
all....most people don't unless they deal with strong currents on a
regular basis.
Standby for the pics of the J29....my 35s5 will also be visible in the
same shot!

Poor Doug....I do like the desperate effort to somehow make it as
though a comparison was made between hydrofoils, wing keels and duck
soup. The guy's a piece of work to be sure!
